Storyline
Your journey begins near the village of Riders, deep within a quiet forest. There, three young friends—the hero, Lilia, and Cheval—discover a glowing egg. They jokingly perform the Rite of Kinship, only to be stunned when it actually works!
The egg hatches, revealing a baby Rathalos, a majestic flying wyvern known as the “King of the Skies.” The group lovingly names him “Ratha” and brings him back to the village.
However, peace doesn’t last long. One day, a monstrous creature infected by “the Black Blight” attacks the village. Though they manage to repel it, the attack leaves devastation in its wake—and emotional scars on Lilia and Cheval.
A year later, the hero receives a Kinship Stone from the Village Chief and officially becomes a Rider. Meanwhile, Lilia and Cheval each depart on their own paths. Now separated from his childhood friends, the hero teams up with the cheerful Navirou to begin a brand-new adventure across the world of hunters.
Experience a heartfelt tale of friendship, growth, and triumph—ride forward into the immersive universe of Monster Hunter Stories.
